1944 New Inspector-General of Metropolitan Police Board stated 
as follows: 

First urgent business of defense is the Civilian Air Defense 
Measure, I hope to establish quickly an iron-wall-like 
air defense that will not be shaken no matter where the attack 
is made. 

Next, is the problem of city life. Such trivial matters as 
changing the distribution regulations here and there should 
be stopped as our fundamental need is to increase foodstuffs. 
There will be greater distribution of fish and vegetables 
beginning this fall." (Tokyo Home Empire Service 7/25/44)

Former minister of Agriculture and Forestry, has been named the

S-Iv.JfIBA.R-. 

"Report from Singapore”: Japanese home service 8/12/44 carried 
a commentary titled "Random notes on the Shonan (Singapore) 
Region,'’ by a correspondent named Sakakibara, which discussed, 
among other things, shortages, difficulties and the attitude of 
Japanese toward conquered races. 

Shortages: ".it present, rice, fish, vegetables, meat and clothing 

are rationed. One might think that sugar is plentiful in the 
south, but it, too, is rationed in Singapore as well as other 
parts of Malaya. In the big cities of Malaya, including Singa¬ 
pore, mass decentralization started the beginning of this year... 
in order to increase foodstuffs." 

Exploitation: "The greatest problem in the midst of this great 

war is how to utilize such boundless material resources. Without 
question, we send the main products to the Japanese homeland 
directly to increase our war strength." 

Japanization: "Japanese culture has gradually permeated into the 

smallest villages. The fundamental "concept" was first of all 
driven into the teachers of national schools and they in turn led 
and taught others," Sakakibara continued. "Now all children, be 
they Malayans, Chinese or Hindus, sing ’The Patriotic March’ as 
cleverly as the children of the Japanese homeland." 

Cooperation: " T he Chinese," Sakakibara stated, "economically 

cooperated in the war effort by don ting airplanes and private 
fortunes."

SAKAKIBARA (CONTINUED) 

Love and Tolerance: "The thing we should always bear in mind is 
the pride of the Japanese and the realization that the Yamato 
race is the greatest of all Greater East Asia races,” Sakakibara 
concluded. "Lately a great deal of consideration is being given 
to the question of winning the hearts of the people in the Shonan 
region, ^t is my conviction that the true construction of Greater 
East Asia can only be accomplished after each and every one of us 
acquires the personality and education — that is the magnanimity 
worthy of Japanese — necessary to win the hearts of local people. 
...We Japanese must take the attitude that we will lead the local 
people with love and tolerance,”

1944 According to broadcasts of April 6, 1943 NAKAMURA, Toyoichi 
was appointed but in view of later developments is is 
assumed he never took up the post. Last references to 
NAKAMURA were June, 1943 as leaving for Tokyo, and Ocf.4,1944 
as a member of the YUKI Finance Mission to China. He could 
lardly have come back from Finland in time to take that 
responsibility. It is, therefore, assumed here that SAKATA, 
was Minister at the time of the break of diplomatic relations. 

This is confirmed by two broadcasts Sept. 22 and 26,1944-

SHIONI, SEISAQJ (SHIOMI) 

1943 An officer of the Japanese Consulate General in Hanoi, French 
Indo-China, who accidentally crossed the border into Chinese 
territory in the winter of 1938 and was arrested by the Chinese 
sentry. Writes an autobiographical account of his four years’ 
experience in China, "Confessions of a Japanese officer -- advocates 
abolition of the Mikado system” 

On morning of Dec. 29, 1938, car unexpectedly crossed Chinese 
border at Chennankwan from direction of Langson in Indo-China. 

When captured by Chinese military, thought’ he would be killed. 

Tried to commit suicide. But since experienced actual Chinese 
treatment of captive, and realized that he had been fooled by 
Japanese militarists’ malicious propaganda about "Chinese cruelty”, 
has completely reversed outlook on life. Faith in revolutionary 
work revitalized, he is real man working for salvation of unfor¬ 
tunate Japanese under Fascist militarists....Japanese idea of 
Lordship of East Asia cannot be justified. Japanese failure in 
China because of great traditional national spirit of the Chinese. 
The bliss of being captive. Cruelties of Japanese reported by 
captured officers and men. Hopes Chinese will understand Japanese 
revolution, and will support it. Still some Chinese who don’t 
understand nature of Japanese revolution, have wrong idea of 
letting Mikado remain on throne. Mere downfall of Jap. militarists 
won’t bring about realization of revolution, and hppes that everyone 
understands that an absolute requirement for the successful com¬ 
pletion of the Japanese revolution is the abolition of the absol¬ 
utism, dictatorship and aggressiveness of the Mikado system. Only 
after system is aholished, can we march to democratic, peaceful.

From Ten Years in Japan by Joseph Grew 

July 22, 1932 ’’Shiratori, as the Department (Inf* Dept, of Foreign 
Office) is aware, seems to act independently of his superiors and 
seems to enjoy giving sensational impressions.... Shiratori, indeed 
is quite an enigma; Shidehara tried to get rid of him and couldn’t 
as he is apparently supported by the military, with whom he seems 
to be in entire sympathy. He is also a nephew of Viscount ISHII and 
is closely connected with HIRANUMA, President of the Privy Council 
and Chief of the K0KUH0NSHA Reactionary Society, which of course 
renders him impregnable at the Foreign Office.

Furthermore, he is thick with TAiH (successor to TOGO as Foreign 
Minister in 1942) hut who in 1932 was Chief of the Asiatic Bureau 
of the Foreign Office. TANI is a brother of General TANI of the 
Army and thus both have close relationship with the military.” 

1944 Chairman of newly formed Committee chosen from nation’s 
academic, political and economic circles to study post-war problems. 
(Tokyo Domei in English to America 6/21/44) 

1931 SHIRATORI and OHASHI went boldly out in support of the ex¬ 
pansionist policy and program. (Frederick Moore "With Japan’s 
Leaders’* Charles Scribner, 1942, page 11) 

p. 199 ’’Japan had become a modern progressive state and, because 
of proximity and vital interest, should be the dominant foreign 
nation in the vast, still backward country across the narrow China 
Sea. The contention of militarists like HASHIMOTO and the ’’radical" 
statesmen like SHIRATORI and OHASHI had had some effect upon the 
minds of even men of pacific proclicities like HORINOUCHI. 

Shiratori, Toshio, member of Japanese House of Representatives and 
concurrently chairman of recently established committee for study 
of Post War Problems, recommended that China send at least one 
third of her population to the Southern Regions to help in economic 
development there. (6/30/44 FCC) 

From an article in the Mainichi Shimbun by Toshio Shiratori, one-time 
Ambassador to Italy - The author claimed that the excellent fighting 
spirit of American leaders was due to their domination by Jews, who, 
he said, regard this war as "the last great gamble to attain in one 
stroke the ambition to master the world.” Defeat would destroy their 
dream and 'lead to the ruin of the race.”

SONODA 


Lieutenant-General of the Defense General Headquarters of Korea. 
(F.C.C. 8/18/44) 

KOKEiiN xvRP: Lt. General Sonoda of the Korean Defense General Head- 
• quarters made a concerted attempt to deal with the 
possibility of panic during air raids. He warned that 
T, ir any warfare, whenever a person thinks ’Things are looking badj’ 
or ’This is the end!’, he is already inviting a losing war.” 

He pointed out that '’when we are bombed ... there will be cases where 
one may yell out loud ... but, what we don’t want to have do is 
merely continue yelling.” (It will be noted that the Japanese at home 
(7/2) were told that ”no matter how well preparations have been made 
beforehand, people usually become panic stricken and cause greater- 
damage” during air raids.) 

Sonoda concluded by exhorting the people to "remain calm ... when the 
emergency time comes.” (Korean Home Service in Japanese, 8/8)

SUZUKI, ToIICHI. LT. GENERAL COFT’D 

p. 304 Nov. 23, 1941> SUZUKI declared that it was necessary to 


assure Japanese leadership in East Asia in order to end 
Anglo-Saxon domination in the East, exercised since the 
19th century and therewith break down the old order based 
on it. And the way to do this was to arouse the racial 
spirit of the Japanese people and display it to the whole 
world, in which racial issues were becoming dominant. 


p. 318 Dec. 6 , 1941j SUZUKI speaking before EAST ASIA economic 


council said: ’’Japan’s patience will no longer^be 
necessary if the countries hostile to peace in East Asia, 
countries whose identity is becoming absolutely clear, 
attempt to continue and increase Ear Eastern disturbances. 
We Japanese are tensely watching whether or not Roosevelt 
and Churchill will commit the epoch-making crime by further 
extending the world upheaval.

TANiALi, -786 

Chairman of the Propaganda Department, Militia Vocational Guidance 
Office and Labor Service in the Malacca Govt., Malaya (Jan, 1944) 

TANAKA 


One of the Manchurian educators who will be present at a conference 
called at the Education Ministry for Aug. 14015 in Hsinking. 

The conference will discuss enrollment problems at universities, 
the shortening of the school year, and the guidance of students. 

(F.C.C. 8/12/44) 

(COLONEL) (see TANAKA, RYUKICEI, COLONEL) 

1929 Chief of Japanese Intelligence Service in Tientsin 

(Secret Agent of Japan, Amelto VESPA, Little, Brown and Co., 1938) 

TANAKA , GIICHI, BARON (died 1929) 

1914 Had an interview with Sun Yat-sen at the outbreak of the first 
European War. TANAKA proposed that China and Japan should make 
full use of the Europeans pre-occupation in' order to advance 
their mutual interests, which really meant Japan’s interests. 

He suggested to Sun Yat-sen that China and Japan denounce their 
. treaty relations with the foreign countries and construct 
n a new order in East Asia.” Sun Yat-sen then asked if that 
step would involve the breaking of treaties which had been 
so]emnly entered into. 

To which TANAKA replied: '’Would not the denunciation of these 
international treaties and the termination of unequal 
obligations be beneficial to China?” 

Sun Yat-sen solemnly said: "Yes, the unequal treaties should be 
terminated, but only through proper and legitimate procedure. 
P.274 China is not prepared to become a party to any illegal sus¬ 
pension of the treaties even though there might be advantages.” 
Chiang Kai-shek was present at this interview. 

(Chiang Kai-Shek by H.H. Chang, Doubleday, Doran, Co. 1944) 

1927 TANAKA Memorial submitted to the Emperor, -a plan for future 
Japanese aggression. 

P.276 Quoting from the Memorial ’’What is most to be feared is the 
awakening of China; if China were to become united the con¬ 
sequences would be industrial development; it is necessary to 
control Manchuria and Mongolia and then to use them as a base 

for the seizure of all China’s wealth and resources.". 

"If China be completely conquered by us ? Central Asia and 
Asia Minor, India and the South Seas, with their heterogenous 
peoples, will certainly fear and yield to us. The world will 
be given to understand that East Asia is in our possession. 

The rich resources of China will become instrumental in the 
conquest of India, the South Seas, Central Asia and Asia Minor 
and Europe." 

General; created sensation by committing suicide while still 
Premier. (Referred to FCC 7/4/44)

TOJQ, continued 

’‘Today, when the insuperable military position of Japan and Germany 
is solider than ever, the Anglo-Americans have dared to attempt 
the invasion of Europe on a grand scale* The Japanese government 
is absolutely sure that your country, profiting from this good 
opportunity will exterminate all invading troops and will be 
crowned with a glorious victory. We here express our deep admiration 
for the great foresight with which Your Excellency anticipated the 
present event and patiently completed all preparations for them. 

Japan hopes to exert herself even more actively in order to win our 
common victory, extolling (echoing) your victorious advance.” 
(F.E.P.A. 7/22/44)

2/22/44 Statement to Cabinet meeting. “The war situation is truly

1944 "He was a rabid anti-militarist when I met him in Japan, not be¬ 
cause he hated war, but because he saw in the middle class re¬

disappearance of an all-time ruling class. In 1942 Prince TOICU-

TOSHIMA, Y05KIQ 

Delegate to the conference for selecting winner of the second GEA 
Literary Prize. (RT 10/10/44) 


TOTA, ISHIMARU 

1944 Mentioned in biography of Chiang Kai-shek by H. H. Chang. 

TOTA, who wrote about Chiang, must be given credit for being 
the only member of his race to realize the basic ideas of this 
book (referring to the "Art of War" by Sun Tse - the thesis of 
which is that there is a moral conception) have been completely 
pp misinterpreted in his country. "If in a hundred battles you 
275- win a hundred victories, that is still not the best strategy. 
276 It is when you succeed in conquering your enemy without having 
to engage him in war that you show the highest and best 
strategy.". 

This is completely over the head of the Japanese, who, as 
Ishimaru TOTA pointed out, believe that it is all vague ideal¬ 
ism which is out of keeping with modern warfare. TOTA quotes 
another - "The art of war is a serious national concern. Upon 
it the nation depends for its life or death. It is imperative 
that it should receive the most careful consideration." 

Without reading this in connection with the general spirit of 
the book, the Japanese take this saying as being a justifica¬ 
tion that war is inevitable and that militarism must be 
maintained at all costs.

a Lockheed P-38, which was hiding in the clouds at an altitude of 
10,000 meters. His plane was shot full of holes when tho enemy 
peppered him with a 13-millimeter cannon, and the Lt. himself 
suffered a severe wound in his right leg, but he miraculously 
returned. Another Japanese plane fought at such a low height over 
the Hsiang River that sprays of water were kicked up by tho

TSUTSUI. MASAUKE 


Writer in "Fujin Koroi" on "Frugality in the Use of Rice"* 

"We know that our government has asked us to use potatoes, wheat, 
flour, bread, beans and taro in our diet, mixed with rice in 
order -to reduce our ration of rice. We quite realize the im¬ 
portance of this matter, but from old times tho Japanese have been 
used to a rice diet and it is difficult for us to change our 
habits. Wo cannot but regard these other foods as substitutes, 
and less desirable than rice, and therefore we are inclined to 
use them as little as possible. It would therefore seem that 
the government's plan is hardly practicable." (6/15/44)

UCHIDA. TAK0K0 

Takeko Uchida and Shizuko KaSahara, who experienced the first 
several battles between planes of a U.S. task force and Japanese 
flyers stationed in the Bonins, quoted by Tokyo. Kasahara and 
Uchida, who returned to the mainland recently, are quoted as follows 
* ? The neighborhood associations over there are greatly advanced. 
Particularly, fire drills are of a tensity which is grimness itself. 
They undergo training daily. The first enemy fire was from the 
skies, and the everyday training spoke for itself against them. We 
felt that more than anything else, distribution (of people for their 
battle stations) is most advantageous against blows from the sky. 
They say that bombs are not fearful if one becomes accustomed to 
them, however they are fearful. We keenly felt that even in 
ordinary days we must quickly make preparations for enemy attacks 
from both land and air, with the impression deeply inbedded in us 
that the enemy will come from both land and air. We felt that there 
were no shortcomings in the relay of water, as, differing from the 
situation in cities, there are no complexities. Upon returning to 
the homeland after a long period of time, we looked upon the compact 
conditions of the homes and buildings, and thought that it would be 
fine if everyone considered the matter of fire protection to a 
greater extent.” (F.C.C, 7/7/44)

UCHIYAMA. TAKESHI 

Writer of article, "The South Seas Front as seen by a Japanese 
Soldier" in "Fuji", Oct. 1943. 

The question of food supplies is a major one for Japanese soldiers 
in the New Guinea-Solomons area. Our soldiers are cultivating as 
much land as possible to make themselves self-sufficient in vege¬ 
tables. They eat many of the wild fruits and vegetables found in the 
region. They have had some trouble with the natives because they 
cut down so many banana trees to build trenches and defense works. 

"Our policy is to study continuously how our men can live off the 
land,, so that if supplies are cut off our soldiers can still carry 
on, * On Guadalcanal they suffered much because the .Americans 
captured most of the supplies being smuggled in to them. A great 
many of our soldiers suffered from ringworm, dysentery, and 
intestinal catarrh and malaria." 

One thing the soldiers are interested in is news from home. However, 
the letters always represent conditions as perfect in Japan. They 
are inclined to disbelieve that conditions can always be so good and 
they hope that in the future their families and friends will write 
the real truth and not try to hide their troubles."

1944 Relieved of his post as Minister to China (Shanghai) H/ll/44 
to be succeeded by TSUCHIDA, Yutaka. (Domei In English 11/11/44 
to the Pacific - wire copy) 

The Men that Maintain the Great East Asia Ministry by Kusada Toizo 
in "Sozo" December, 1942 

IV Chief of the China Affairs Bureau - Usami Uzuhiko 

The China problem plays the most important role in the work of tho 
Great East Asia Ministry. China is such a vast arena that tho 
China Bureau requires seven departments: General Affairs, Admin¬ 
istration, Culture, Finance, Agriculture and Forestry, Command and 
Industry and Communications. Compared to the other three Bureaus, 
it is a wide-fronted establishment. As it swallowed up the China 
Affairs Board and took in the Asia Burea of the Foreign Ministry, 
it is destined to become the "star" bureau of the Ministry. 

Its chief is Usami Uzuhiko who was head of the Economic Department 
of the China Affairs Borad. Usami T s name became known to the 
public in September 1939 when Hitler made his lightening attack 
on Poland. Usami was councellor of the Japanese Embassy in Germany. 
Just before the German Soviet-non-aggression pact was concluded, 
the Japanese and Italian ambassadors did some remarkable wire 
pulling at the Como talks. Just when Germany was about to attack 
Poland, Usami was acting as representative for Ambassador Oshima 
at the Berlin Embassy and made a great reputation for himself, 
protecting and evacuating Japanese residents. Soons afterwards 
he was Japanese Minister to Egypt. In 1940 he cut his twenty 
years long connection with diplomatic life and became head of the 
Economic Department of the China Affairs Borad. Of course, his 
present appointment as Chief of China Affairs Bureau was earned by 
his good services rendered to China economic policy, but his dip¬ 
lomatic ability also qualifies him as suitable for the post. Having 
been moulded at Kasumi-ga-scki (tho Foreign Ministry) he is smart in 
appearance and suave in his dealings with people*

USAIvU , UZUHIKO (CONTINUED) 

"As this is an ago of construction, however, though the velvet 
glove of suavity is not unsuitable, the iron fist is regarded as 
the controlling factor in a crisis. With a good head for the 
complicated economics of the continent, like a skillful surgeon 
his sure hand will finish the operation before breakfast, 

"Needless to say the resources of the Southern Regions are im¬ 
portant, but the raw materials of the continet too must never be 
forgotten. For the development of these resources however "man" 
is indispensable. China has great productive power and is also 
blessed with manpower. China it must always be remembered is of 
these two factors, the hope and feeling of stability which is 
entertained regarding the vast continent of China is further 
strengthened. Concerning the relation of the economic development 
of China and the Great East Asia War, the completion of our economic 
strength for national defense will be brought about by the 
liquidation of the China incident; at the same time victory in 
the Great East Asia War will cause the development of China^s 
economic strength. The two act together like the wheels of a 
vikisha /sic/. u 

Such was the opinion of Usami when'he was Head of a Department in 
the China Affairs Board. In brief, Usami has ample confidence in 
the development of China which possesses both material and men. 
Whatever may be argued, the Chino problem presents the greatest 
of difficulties, and, as China plays a big part in the construction 
of East Asia, let us pray for a blessing on Usami’s efforts 
hereafter.

J A MAMOTO, JOTARO 

Yamamoto is a man who possesses the sweep and breadth that make 
him appear ”big”, something which is rarely seen in both political 
and economic circles in Japan today. While active as a business 
man, he never thought of simply earning money. What filled his 
mind always was the ”fervent ambition” of doing something big——big 
in scale and result. That he as a director of the Mitsui Bussan

YAMAMOTO, JCYARO, continued 

Kaisha was involved in the Siemens affair some years ago was 
because of this ambition that unwittingly made him overstep the 
line. Looking back, we can see that his temporary retirement from 
public life on account of the Siemens affair afforded him a chance of 
adding the results of quiet reflection to his conviction of his own 
ability and provided an opportunity to put the finishing touches 
upon his character. Because of this he is more powerful in 
carrying out his decisions. When he appeared in political circles 
later, he easily built up his own ground with this dauntless 
fighting spirit and thorough going sagacity. Yamamoto has one 
admirable characteristic of never quarrelling with others for his 
own sake or over petty affairs. This may account for such a force¬ 
ful man as he is for having no enony. If the Seiyukai will seek a 
person who is able to really lead the party with his own personality, 
he will be one of the most prominent candidates for the leadership. 
Among those who know him, he is considered more able and more 
practical as the president of the South Manchuria Railway Company 
than Viscount Goto who, as its first president, established every¬ 
thing on a spectacular scale. Yamamoto has a clear head that 
grasps any problem from the broadest viewpoint, the courage that 
never falters before serious mishaps and the coolness to dispose of 
anything to the best of his ability—a rare manly man seldom seen 
in Japan today. He will make his influence felt till the last* 

(Japan, Today and Tomorrow, p. 125) 


YAMAMOTO, KAIRYU PROFESSOR 

June, 1944 Remarks attributed to one Prf. YAMAMOTO of Tokyo Imp. 

Univ. "Buddhism in the southern regions is still in a 
primitive stage, while in Japan, the Buddhist doctrine 
has been developed into the highest religious philosophy 
....Buddhism in the southern regions can be developed 
to the same level as that in Japan.. The Buddhist sect is 
the most Asiatic of all religious sects in East Asia... 
Therefore, Buddhism is the sole representative east 
Asiatic Religion...Therefore, the east Asiatic spiritual 
structure should be based on Buddhism."

the Netherlands, but also against the U.S„ and Great Britain, whom it 
accused of interfering with trade negotiations.

the lap. trade delegation would leave.

as the "supreme” leaders of the government" decided to break off the 
trade negotiations with the Netherlands East Indies and to withdraw 
the trade delegation from Batavia, but it was also stated that the 
withdrawal would not mean any "immediate" change in lapan’s relations 
with Dutch colony. In other words, there would bo no "immediate in¬ 
vasion of the N.E.I., as in the case of French-Indo China."
